这是一篇记叙文，讲述了乔治为了实现自己的梦想而做出的不懈努力。虽然乔治从小就朋友不多，也被其他同学嘲笑，但是他不让任何事阻碍他的梦想实现。后来经过努力，成功开办自己的公司，实现了童年的梦想。

【1】考查副词。副词修饰形容词，此处应填exact的副词形式exactly，修饰形容词popular。故填exactly。

【2】考查状语从句。句意：大多数孩子喜欢在周末看电影，而George却喜欢设计他自己的小项目。第二个空引导的从句意为：大多数孩子喜欢在周末看电影。主句意为：George喜欢设计他自己的小项目。主句与从句之间存在让步关系。While放在句首表示“虽然”，符合句子让步状语的关系。故填While。

【3】考查固定短语。go to the movies为固定短语，意为“去看电影”。故填the。

【4】考查现在分词的被动式。句意：这使得George很沮丧，但是他试着不让任何事阻碍他的梦想实现。keep sth. from doing sth.为固定句型，意为“阻止某人做某事”。 “梦想”与“实现”之间是被动关系，应使用现在分词的被动式。故填being achieved。

【5】考查介词。句意：乔治成绩优异，同时被哈佛大学和耶鲁大学录取。be admitted to/into为固定短语，意为“被录取到……”。故填to/into。

【6】考查连词。根据空前的he decided to go to Stanford(他决定去斯坦福)和空后的there were many opportunities(那里有更多机遇)可知空后是空前的原因，此处是个原因状语从句，需用because或since引导，故填because/since。

【7】考查定语从句。句意：那里有为想要在硅谷工作的人提供的更多机遇。此句为所填空引导的限制性定语从句。先行词为people，所填关系词在从句中作主语，指人，在从句中作主语时，应用关系代词who或that。故填who/that。

【8】考查固定句型。句意：这是他第一次感受到被周围的人认可。This was the first time that…句型中，应使用过去完成时。故填had felt。

【9】考查固定表达。句意：他参加了额外的课程，提前一年毕业了。end up doing sth.意为“最终做了某事”，是固定表达。故填graduating。

【10】考查介词。句意：他在苹果公司从事了程序员的工作。take a job as…为“从事……的工作”。故填as。

分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如第7小题中先行词为名词people，再分析先行词people在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词people代到从句中可知，作主语，指人且在从句中作主语时应用关系代词who或that。故填who或that。
